The

Audenshaw. It has been very successful for last 36 years and many of our
past members have taken up careers in the theatre as dancers, actors,
stage crew and costume designers. The group is run by volunteers who
are well experienced leaders or teachers within the field.
We do two shows a year, a Pantomime in January and a Musical in July.
Wednesday evenings 6:15pm - 8:15pm

Each member of staff may be required to have a DBS.
The Criminal Records Bureau ( CRB ) and the Independent Safeguarding Authority ( ISA ) have merged to become the Disclosure and Barring Service ( DBS ). CRB checks are now called DBS checks. A DBS check may be needed for some parts of the voluntary work, e.g. working alone with the children.
If we feel that you require a DBS we as a group are more than willing to assist you in obtaining the DBS at no cost to yourself or
if you have a DBS already we may be able to get you certified, as we
will be able to use the registration details you can provide.
